Hospital to Home Transitions for Children With Medical Complexity: A Scoping Review of Healthcare Professionals’ Experiences

This scoping review synthesizes healthcare professionals' experiences from 40 international studies, identifying 11 key themes structured within the socio-ecological model. This offers a comprehensive framework to understand and improve hospital-to-home transitional care for children with medical complexity. The findings can guide the development of supportive interventions, including care coordination programs, structured education for families and professionals, and transitional care units. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and contextual adaptability of transitional care interventions, and to strengthen interprofessional collaboration across hospital and community settings.
